In context

¹⁵But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.

¹⁶Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,

¹⁷Who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”

¹⁸All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.

¹⁹But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
